This debt-ceiling thingy seems to be playing to perfection for Obama and the democrats. Republican leader, John Boehner, despite strong language, threats and perhaps, perhaps everything short of bodily harm, failed to get enough votes to get his debt reduction proposal through the republican-led house.
